Symposium on Motor Control in Biomechanics 2018, May 29 2018; Minneapolis (USA)

该奖项支持2018年生物力学运动控制研讨会，该研讨会将于2018年5月29日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行的美国运动医学学院会议之前举行。本次研讨会将汇集研究人员讨论运动控制和生物力学的新工具和方法，这些工具和方法可以应用于运动医学的前沿研究。是次研讨会的主题是“以创新技术为运动及锻炼的新方法”。研讨会的结构将允许生物力学和运动控制领域的专家向广泛的观众展示研究的前沿，不仅包括工程师，还包括更多的运动医学和运动科学的临床研究人员。将讨论的研究，以及生物力学和运动控制的整合，也与持续或有残疾的个人的病理运动和康复研究直接相关。奖励资金将支持年轻研究人员和初级教师的旅行补助金，使他们能够参加整个会议的额外一天，并为一些受邀演讲者提供部分旅行资金。本次研讨会将重点讨论运动控制和生物力学领域的前沿研究技术，以及如何将其应用于转化研究。本次研讨会成功的关键在于，它汇集了来自工程、临床医学、物理治疗和运动科学的研究人员，讨论最新的进展，以及不同学科如何共同解决当前的研究问题。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports the 2018 Motor Control in Biomechanics Symposium, which will be held on May 29, 2018, in advance of the American College of Sports Medicine meeting in Minneapolis, MN. This symposium will bring together researchers to discuss new tools and approaches of motor control and biomechanics that can be applied to advance research in sports medicine. The theme of the symposium is "Innovative Techniques towards a New Approach to Sports and Exercise." The symposium will be structured to allow experts in the field of biomechanics and motor control to present the leading edge of research to a broad audience that includes not only engineers but also more clinical researchers in sports medicine and exercise science. The research that will be discussed, and the integration of biomechanics and motor control, is also directly relevant to studies of pathological motion and rehabilitation for individuals who have sustained an or who have a disability. Award funds will support travel grants for young investigators and junior faculty to allow them to attend an additional day of the overall conference, as well as partial travel funds for some of the invited speakers.This symposium will focus on cutting edge research technologies that have been developed in the areas of motion control and biomechanics and how they can be applied to translational research. Key to the success of this symposium will be the fact that it brings together convergent groups of researchers from engineering, clinical medicine, physical therapy, and exercise science to discuss the latest advances and how different disciplines can work together to address current research questions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
